Review of Shine


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Shine's man Sean

Shine's man - Sean - turned up on time on the appointed date. The work involved repairing a piece of vandalism - paint gouged to the undercoat. The work was carried out in an exemplary manner. What was needed was clearly explained, including the timeframe. Sean was thoroughly professional and, once the work had been done, we had a very good chat about mutual interests. My only gripe - a very small one - was that it took the best part of three months to get the booking fulfilled: a measure, perhaps, of how much in demand Shine's services actually are.

We are sorry to hear that you had to wait longer than expected for the booking to be fulfilled, and we appreciate your patience. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Kind Regards,

My needs being minimal - fairly frequent phone calls and occasional texts- the giffgaff package suits me down to the ground. Such issues as have arisen in the past have all been dealt with very promptly.

All very straightforward

Navigating the website was pretty straightforward. Whilst the quotation wasn't the cheapest, it covered all the components I required at a reasonable cost. Payment was also very easy and the acknowledgement and documentation were supplied in rapid order.

Application was straightforward

Application was straightforward and pretty standard. Not quite the cheapest option, the policy covered all my requirements for a one-week cruise holiday.

All in all, a first-class experience.

Ordering online was straightforward; delivery was prompt (given the festive season and its attendant issues); the item was exactly as described; potential return procedures were clearly explained. All in all, a first-class experience.

First-class service

I was advised in advance both by text and email in the morning on the due date. The delivery was made bang on time and the gentleman making it couldn't have been more courteous or friendly. First-class service.

A modest emergency

I attended after a wonky crown fell out. As always - over the past 30 years - I was well received. I was treated in a manner which was courteous, friendly and thoroughly professional. Future options were discussed and there was even time for a chat. Excellent!

Review of Allianz Insurance


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

All very straightfoward

Having researched via comparethemarket.com, navigating the Flow site was as straightforward as any I've come across. The quotation, whilst not the cheapest, offered the best value-for-money of any listed.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

A long-serving and happy client!

I have been attending this practice for 27 years in its various manifestations. What's kept me loyal is the personnel and the quality of the treatment I've received. I'm always made to feel welcome by those on Reception: they are businesslike and friendly without being over-familiar. Their professionalism is matched by the practitioners, both dental surgeons and hygienists. I am sorry that after 6 years with my present dentist, he is moving on to practise nearer home. By the same token, experience suggests that APS is able to recruit some first-rate practitioners; so here's hoping that history will repeat itself!
